[QUOTE="Beercules, post: 978468, member: 4713"] One little word of caution I didn't see mentioned...you state in the OP that it is a .223 rifle, make sure your gun is actually chambered in 5.56 (or other suitable chamber such as Wylde) before you run 5.56 through it. As mentioned, the 5.56 is a hotter round. It [I]can[/I] actually exceed the specs of .223 making it unsafe to fire. Both links posted earlier explain it. Have fun and be safe! PS...my initial thought is short stroke due to underpowered ammo as well. But make sure you're running sufficient lube as well, as the AR/M16 platform needs plenty to run well and keep running.
